What is Psychodynamic Therapy?
The aim of Psychodynamic Counselling is about developing a greater understanding of ourselves. By thinking about experiences and relationships throughout our lives we might be able to recognise links or triggers that make sense of our current, behaviour, thoughts and feelings, which naturally leads to increased self awareness.
Time Focused or open ended Therapy
Short Term - (12-24 Weeks) I can also offer time focused sessions whereby a focus will be discussed within the initial session(s) and a set number of sessions will be agreed usually between 12-24 weeks.
Open Ended - (Finish when you are ready) With open ended counselling the end date is not decided at the beginning. Instead you will have time and space to work through what you need to before we discuss when you feel ready to work towards an end.

Ultimately, I believe that by understanding our difficult feelings we can begin to process them, unlock the power they hold over us and begin to move forward feeling less fearful and more hopeful. Therapy can be a place to explore new coping strategies.
A huge proportion of my client base have felt that they have had to manage their difficult feelings alone, having to mask to fit in or pretend to be ok.
When we feel down we often retreat, avoid contact with others, and I have found that for some when this happens the counselling room has been a safe place to share with another. With time and through this unique therapeutic relationship so many clients have built a stronger and more robust sense of who they are and improve their relationship with themselves and others.
We must all remember how natural it is to need help at times, we're not actually designed to manage alone. Sometimes we might seek help from someone in our lives and sometimes we find it in a professional capacity.
Fee's
Initial Session Fee - £65 for a 50 minute session.
Within this session we can discuss what has bought you to counselling and you can decide if you would like to meet again.
Ongoing session fee's - from £65 (per 50 minute session) on a weekly basis.
For consistency meetings take place on the same day and time each week but if you work shift's/rota we can try to plan sessions in advance.
